The CHARLESTON PREACHER CALLED 10 TIE FIRST
BAPTIST CHURCH.
As stated In The STAR OF last Wednesday the
congregation OF the First Baptist Church has ex.
tended call TO Rev. c. A. Stakely, pastor OF the
Citadel Square Baptist church, OF Charleston s. c.
The Charleston NeUs and Courier OF Thursday
says: Mr. Stakely has not yet announced his de-
termination In regard to this call but the field to
which he has been invited Is so promising and the
advantages OF ministerial work In Washington are
so great that he Will probably accept the call
MI. stakelys career In charleston has been phe-
nomenally successful. He is the youngest clergy.
man In the city, and he stands amongst the great
est He has been here five years and Is now only
tWenty-eight years OF age. His pastoral work
alone mas been enough To tax the strength OF a
giant, ana yet without neglecting this duty in the
preacher that Is not equaled by that OF any other
Baptist minister In the State. Sound In the doc
trines or his church, gifted with q wonderful
nuency or speech, possessed OF the keen analytical
powers OF weil-trained lawyer, and having In a
mark degree much OF the genius OF oratory, 1t is
not surprising that he should have so rapidly at
tained distinction His congregation are wrapped
up In him, and he Is in love with his congregation.
IL may be imagined therefore. that this, the first
announcement OF his call To Washington, will be
most startling piece OF intelligence TO the Bap-
lists OF Charleston to-day. Mr.. Stakely is native
or Georgia. He has been the architect OF his own
fortunes. He started at the bottom round OF the
ladder From the pot OF sign painter to an ex-
ceht that ne has made From the workshop to
the high school at La Grange; from the high
school 10 the bar; from the brefieSS lawyer TO the
position OF solicitor OF Troupe County, Georgia,
and from the bar 10 the pulpit, are the stages by
which ne has made his way in life II ne cannot
be induced TO remain In Charleston IT does not
qure the GIFT OF prophecy TO predict the success OF
Mr.. Stakely in Washington.

The story OF the game between the St Louis

In Baltimore yesterday afternoon. There the De-

the eighth victory won by the league champions,
the Browns were compelled to relinauish their
claim 10 the championship OF the world. There
were only about 1000 people in attendance The
game throughout was marked by rather loose
felding on both sides, and was only relieved from
being monotonous by the heavy batting and clever
base running OF the Detroits Bennett hurt his

that the effect Of the Water and Powder Sprudel

was two tumblerfuls before breakfast and one or

The Lost Papers Found.

THE ORIGINAL DOCUMENTS IN THE PAN-RLRcTRIc
CASE RETURNED TO COURT.
This morning shortly after the clerks ONCE in
the Court House opened a messenger arrived with
o bundle OF papers, which he handed to Mr.. R. j.
Meigs, 1r., with the following explanatory note:
X. J. Meigs. esq, Clerk Supreme Court, ID. c.:
Dear Sir: hereby re. urn the papers in the case
OF j. Harris Rogers agt. A. II. Garland ct al, which
found IN my private drawer In my office, where
placed them, rs / suppose and believe, when
brought TO the Office by young At Lee during Mr..
Chandlers absence from the city, put them for safe
keeping. and had entirely forgot the incident OF
placing them there. No one has access to this
drawer put myself, 1t being place keep my pri-
vate papers. Very truly,
CHAS THOMPSON.
This letter bears out the idea OF Mr.. Meigs that
tne papers would be found in the desk OF some Of
the attorneys. where they had been placed and
forgotten. 1t 1slikely that the case In General
Term will be taken up shortly and disposed OF.
Mr.. thompson is OF the firm OF HuntOn, Chand-
Ter Thompson. He says that, though consider
able fuss was made about the supposed loss OF the
papers, IL would have made no material difference
had they not been found, as there were certified
copies In existence.
